Stories from source to sea

We would love residents to share their local knowledge and experiences about our changing catchment, whether coastal, river, industrial or environmental in nature.

Stories might discuss coastal land change you’ve witnessed over time, a past flooding event, you or your family’s connection to the wider landscape or your relationship with the coast.

If you would like to share a local story (anonymously, if you want) please contact us via info@catchmenttocoast.co.uk
